A UNIQUE PROGRAM FOR UNIQUE BUSINESS CHALLENGES.

The program is built on three principles:

A FOCUS ON BUSINESS:

Rigorous curriculum that rethinks core business disciplines to focus on sustainability.

Requires capstone/project course for which students will do a sustainability project for a firm/organization.

DATA-DRIVEN AND INFORMED BY SCIENCE:

Train in scientific basics through interdisciplinary electives from the Rosenstiel School (RSMAS) and/or Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering (CAE).

Achieve the most social benefit at minimum cost to a firm. Science courses and a course in non-market valuation will teach students how to statistically estimate the benefits to society of sustainability programs, so that firms can focus on programs that provide the largest impact.

CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY (ESG):

Our world-class faculty have expertise in all three pillars (environment, social, and governance) of corporate sustainability and related expertise in areas such as supply chain risk and the RSMAS and CAE faculty provide expertise in the scientific basics.

CAPSTONE PROJECT:

Working in teams, a Capstone Project enables MS in Sustainable Business students to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. In 2019/20, the MS in Sustainable Business capstone project will take place at Office Depot. Students will work in project groups to research relevant sustainability topics and then present their findings and outcomes to leadership at Office Depot. Student proposals and potential ideas will be evaluated by the organization and could potentially influence future operations and business behavior.
